Altec Lansing inAir 5000 AirPlay Speaker

Altec Lansing is the latest newbie on the block with their inAir 5000 airplay speaker.

The inAir 5000 looks to be in the realm of premium AirPlay speakers like the Zeppelin Air. It features three amps (totalling 110 watts) powering two 1″ soft-dome tweeters, two 3″ midrange Kevlar drivers, one 4″ woofer and a passive bass radiator.

Inputs come in the form of USB, so you can charge your iOS device, as well as a 3.5mm aux input. There’s a headphone out and IR remote to control the volume and tracks.

Expected release is October at an undisclosed price… I’m going to speculate around $500-$600 US.
